Stats: 3 chutes, 2200 feet, 1.5-2 brats, 2 beers and lots of chips each. On a very chilly June day, with leaked sauerkraut juice on our gear and the urge to grill threatening to overpowering our will to ski, expecatations were pretty low. But we dragged ourselves out of the car and up to the top of the first chute, where we were pleasantly surprised with the nice snow and good coverage and ended up taking three runs on different chutes. Back at the car around 2 o'clock and we were ready to get brats going. First round went well. We were able to ration the sauerkraut. Then as we started round two, snow flurries started and the grill began acting up, alternately flaring up then dying out. We were perilously close to being denied. But we managed to keep it going and after a slow, difficult struggle we finished. There were even a couple teaspoons of sauerkraut left to go around. Despite the daunting, challenging conditions, we achieved our goal of skiing and grilling in the Sunrise parking lot. And that's what it's all about.
